Cali's Update! :)

 Weren't they Cute!? :) Look at those little round bellies on those cuddly babies of mine! :)

 They were a Lot of work, but Nice Lady made things easier by keeping them contained for me, and keeping things clean all the time! :)

 As a proud Mama, I thought I'd announce that they have now reached their first year birthday! :)

 I'm Cali, by the way, if you didn't already know! :)

 One year later, and now full grown, look how big my babies are now! Sylvester makes me look small in comparison! All three of my sons are noticably larger than I am, and even my daughter, Gerdy, stands a little taller than myself! :)

 Nice Lady always grins at the way we high-tail-it around! It makes her happy because she says it's a sure sign of how happy we are! :) ...

 She's right, you know! :)

 We love summer days of lounging during the day and playing in the cool of the evenings! :)

 Gerdy still enjoys lounging on the fabric lawn chair that was used for their social-time training! :)

 Sometimes we use it too, but most of the time we lounge on the driveway! :)

 My son, Apollo, is the one who's the largest of us all, and has assumed the responsibility of being alpha male. A couple of times he's had to fight off an intruder for the good of the group. He currently has a battle scar on one of his hind feet. He likes to try to keep up his wrestling-fighting skills, but the rest of us are not into it, so he feels we're letting him down by not letting him practice on us! :)

 All my kids take comfort in my presence, but Gerdy is the one that most wants her Mama! :)

 She places herself near me much of the time, and we have a tender relationship! :)

 They are not the only ones who have changed their appearance this past year! ...

 I've done a bit of changing, too, as I was pretty much a kitten myself when I had them, as you can see in this photo of me! :)

 Another important change over the past year is my relationship with the Nice Lady! :) We trust each other fully, now! I trust her and she trusts me! She even has a little song she sings just for me! :)

 I like to show her my belly and get belly rubs from her! She loves my colorful splotches of color! :)

 I put on my Cute for her and she pets me! :)

 She loves my little black dot on my chin! :)

She finds me hard to resist, ... and my babies too! :)
My kids don't really know any different! They've always been here with Lady and the fresh food and water and loving affection, but I know what it's like to have to live in fear and fend for myself. ... She can tell my appreciation goes extra deep, as my life is much improved now, from what it was just over a year ago! :)
Needless to say, another big change has been the addition of having my 4 kids! What wonderful kids they are, too! :)
Happy Birthday Apollo, Gerdy, Mick, and Sylvester! :)

Happy Birthday from me, too, who Cali and her kids (my Honey, if truth be told) call "Nice Nice Lady"! :)
